Directed energy transition and decarbonisation strategy for multi-billion-dollar industrial assets, including refinery repurposing toward green hydrogen and ammonia.
Former senior M&A and New Markets leader at a global renewable utility, responsible for $2bn+ US transactions and $2.5bn+ APAC platform acquisitions across wind, solar, storage, and P2X.

Directed energy transition and decarbonisation of large-scale refineries, including repurposing toward sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and green hydrogen and its derivatives (such as ammonia, LOHCs).
